The parameters and their meaning are as follows: windsheer - percent chance that a ranged attack or thrown item will be blown off course. puddlepct - percent chance, following wet weather, that puddles, snow piles, or dust will form. rainslipchance - percent chance, during wet weather, that someone will slip while moving. snowSlipChance - percent chance, during snowy weather, that someone will slip while moving. sleetSlipChance - percent chance, during sleety weather, that someone will slip while moving. freezeOverChance - percent chance, during cold weather, following cold weather, that a given available water surface will freeze over for a time. droughtFireChance - percent chance, during a drought, that a random item will be selected from all available rooms to be spontaneously ignited. botherticks - how often, in ticks, players will be reminded of current weather conditions. diseaseticks - how often, in ticks, players will suffer a small chance, depending on weather conditions, of catching a weather related disease, such as cold, flu, frostbite, heat. rustticks - how often, in ticks, players in wet weather or conditions will suffer a chance of one of their items rusting and therefore taking damage. lightningticks - how often, in ticks, during thunderstorms, an available player will suffer a chance of someone in the same room being struck by lightning. rumbleticks - how often, in ticks, players are given slightly more personal reminders of current weather conditions than they get from botherticks. gustticks - how often, in ticks, during windy conditions, an available player will suffer a chance of someone in the same room being buffeted by a gust of wind. hailticks - how often, in ticks, during hail storms, an available player will suffer a chance of someone in the same room being buffeted by hail. dustticks - how often, in ticks, during dust storms, an available player will suffer a chance of someone in the same room being hit in the eye with dirt. tornadoticks - how often, in ticks, during thunderstorms and windy conditions, an available player will suffer the chance of a tornado touching down in their room.
